Both Top And Bottom Splints?????
Posted: 09-24-07 10:39am

I was reading online about bite splints for tmj and all of them said usually either top OR bottom was used as treatment. I have an appointment tomorrow with my doctor to get both the top and bottom. Has anyone ever heard of this?????

sometimes they do this. they dont have you wear both at once. it may be that they are making it so you can choose which one you want to wear or they may be planing on having you alternate it. top at night and bottom during the day or vice versa. Make sure that you talk about this with them so you know the reasoning.
